Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you...
Keep it up enough.
You will...
Keep it up enough.
...

All of my life,
From the time I was born...
I was told,
From the time I was born...
...

With all that there is given,
I can not digest...
To say I fully comprehend,
Before beginning...
...

Only in the making of movies,
Are actors found to be handed scripts.
To then learn lines some find to be tedious.
And time well spent is sacrificed to deliver,
...

One's enjoyment to do what one does,
May be easy for others to critique...
As if this authority to do this,
Had to them been given using limited skills...
...

I don't know why,
You believed I was older than you.
I use to be.
But you and aging have become much closer.
...

You have no idea,
What you've done.
You have no idea...
None.
...

Your campaign to ease your pain,
By the chopping off your nose...
Just may work.
Since those blinders you have on your eyes,
...

Don't trouble me with your own needs.
Don't trouble me with that you see.
Don't trouble me with your beliefs.
You've got your troubles,
...

My foot finally struck,
Upon you in a place...
I promised you it would land.
...
